Salvation?
Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
Three nurses and I were at the nurses station talking about a lot of different topics. I was taking an emotional break between patients. Then the nurses turned to one family just across the hallway from where we were standing.
They brought up a recent situation with one of our volunteer chaplains. The patients room had several family members around. The volunteer chaplain entered the room and what he didn't know was that he entered a hornets nest!
He had walked in to talk and pray with the patient and the family members. But he had two groups that wanted the chaplain to "save" the patient before he died! The problem is. what is salvation?
Two of the groups wanted the chaplain to save their loved one their way, which was different then the other group. The chaplain might have had a different opinion about the subject. But he was caught in between these two groups!
Our volunteer chaplain are not allowed to proselytize. They cannot offer a religious point of view unless they are asked. These folks were not asking him, they were telling him their point of view! They could not agree on a plan of salvation and they started yelling at our volunteer chaplain!
Everyone got angry at our chaplain! He was caught in the middle of this family religious civil war!
They got angry at themselves and our chaplain! It all turned into a big mess, which was sad!
Do you know of a group of people with different religious views? Can you tell me about it in the comments section?
